Our Negotiating Committee (NC) presented the TA2 Proposal to the Master Executive Council (MEC) on Wednesday, October 16. After discussion and collaboration with the MEC, the NC is working on a few minor adjustments/amendments. The finalized proposal will be presented to the MEC next week during their regularly scheduled meeting, and the MEC will vote on the proposal.
Once the MEC has approved the TA2 Proposal, it will be prepared for presentation to management at the first mediation session, November 19-21. The second scheduled mediation session is December 17-19.
We will publish our TA2 Proposal, along with the Company proposal, after the November mediation session.
Thank you for your hard work on the TA. Hopefully there is some discussion on flexibility. With lack of any open days, day for day trading only makes sense for even a possibility for flexibility. This was what we agreed to when extending the last contract. My question is WHY NOT? It would benefit the union body AND the company. The tech answer doesn’t fly…. The company is proud of and LOVES boasting about their tech abilities. I look forward to your prompt reply …… In solidarity. D. Renner sea/fa
Is it possible that we will only need one mediation session to have a TA2 to vote on?
Achieving a TA2 in only one session is extremely unlikely.
